Happy Memorial Day

With our military so active these days, Memorial Day seems to have regained some of its original significance. When I was growing up, it meant simply a day off from school. I never knew anyone who served actively. Now, I know lots of families who are serving to protect our freedom, both the active servicemen and women and their families who press on without their loved one there.

Thank you, all of you. I know Memorial Day was originally intended to remember those who died serving our country (read about it here). Why not take a moment to say a prayer of thanks for those who serve today? Why not take a moment to pray for safety for those who serve and strength for their families?

Come to think of it, why not do that every day?

Happy Memorial Day weekend!!! Thank you to everyone who serves our country to protect our freedom.

God bless.

My friend's son Josh has served 2 tours in Afganistan. He suffered a head injury that will be with him the remainder of his life. I have known this young man since he was a little boy, as he was one of my children's church kids. Now he is an honorable Marine and father of a little girl. I am so very proud of the awesome young man he has become, and I thank him for his service to our country. Please pray for his head injuries, and for PTSD issues he also needs to work through.
